[quote=Anonymous]OP--you say you have pain in your legs, plural. Sciatica only very rarely affects both legs. Here are some questions you need to answer: 1. Has the pain been there for three or more months? 2. Do you have it when you wake up and it feels better after a half hour more, improving through the day only to worsen at night? 3. In general, does it improve with movement? If the answers are yes, you need to see a rheumatologist as it could be an inflammatory arthritis. Assuming your use of the word legs was intentional I would tend towards this route for you but I don't know how your other answer line up. If the answers are no--particularly if it worsens with movement you should see an orthopedist. Also, if you can identify an obvious mechanical cause (eg a fall) you would see an orthopedist. I would not go to a PT or chiro without a good diagnosis as what they do could worsen your condition.[/quote]
